### Response:
assistant
Empty silence fills my days 
Grief is a heavy weight
Memories linger like a fog
Pain resounds in every note

I want to run away far 
To escape all that I know 
But the pain follows me still
Taking my joy wherever I go

The sorrow creeps over me 
Like the rising of the tide
It consumes my everything 
Leaves a void I can't hide

Sometimes life takes what we have
But all I'm left with is me
My pain too hard to measure 
And all I can do is grieve
